Hello, Just went through some router woes at home.
Probably fried a router from the recent storms and put an old one in place to keep things running. FYI - I have a cable modem that I own connected via cat5 to a router. The old router was pretty flaky too (a d-link with dd-wrt on it). My symptoms were random periods of ping failure to the Internet. Like one minute 0 packets, another minute 1000 ms return times , and other times when everything would be ok. Connecting via cable directly to the modem was great with zero slowness and no dropped packets. When installing my new router tonight I saw that my public Ip was IPv6. My question is this: Would receiving an IPv6 address at the modem affect the functionality of a router? My guess is that if it would affect the router, that there would be zero connectivity rather than spotty connectivity. Thanks, -Al _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org https://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) Vassar College * May 4 - Front-End Web Cli Tools Jun 1 - Selinux Jul 13 - Mad Science Fair Vi @ Lourdes
